Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 4 years old. Lately, his ears have been a bit sore. He noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and slightly yellow. Additionally, he seems to have no appetite and is very weak. I ask: How should otitis media in children with ear pain be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately used, and local treatment can also be performed, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to children. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate analgesics to relieve the pain. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given to children. If it cannot be relieved, it is essential to seek medical attention. If the patient develops severe symptoms, such as a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to promptly seek medical treatment for surgery. Finally, it is hoped that parents can pay attention to this disease and take their children to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Additionally, proper prevention and health care measures should also be taken regularly.
